Description:
Theses themes use large buttons to make them easily clickable and GTK themes colors to be adaptable on them (see screenshots).
Contain :
- NaturA-simple : clear and large buttons collored
- NaturA : clear and large buttons collored width shadows
- NaturA-classic : uniformly colored titlebar and squared buttons
- NaturAlinea : drawn outline colored around edges and button area
- Alinea : drawn outline colored around edges
- Alinea-blended : shadowed buttons area.

With dark fixed color :
- NaturA-dark-simple
- NaturAlinea-dark
- Alinea-dark

For install: System > preference > appearance > Install button. Or extract the archive and copy the folders to ~/.themes.

NB :
- for GTK themes with a dark menu-bar as "shiki-themes" uses dark fixed color version. To change the background color of "NaturAlinea-dark" and "NaturA-dark-simple" remplace all occurences of "#3C3C3C" to your menu-bar color.
- can't change buttons position without modifying the code.

I really like the basic NaturAlinea titlebar, but wanted a colored background on the titlebar of the focused window. Hence, the following mod: ~/.themes/NaturAlinea/metacity-1$ diff modified_metacity-theme-1.xml metacity-theme-1.xml 174,175c174,177 < <rectangle color="shade/gtk:bg[NORMAL]/.9" filled="true" x="0" y="0" width="width" height="Top_border"/> < <rectangle color="gtk:bg[NORMAL]" filled="true" x="0" y="Top_border" width="width" height="top_height - Top_border"/> --- > <gradient type="vertical" x="0" y="1" width="width" height="22"> > <color value="#ACCD8A"/> > <color value="#E6E6E6"/> > </gradient>

Hello, Thanks for your interest and for sharing. You have to modify "titlebar_bg_f" and "titlebar_bg_max_f" item to do this. It seems that you have changed "titlebar_bg_n" item instead, "f" for focused and "n" for normal or unfocused windows. Also, is better to use height="top_height" instead of a fixed value.

Thanks for the response. I hadn't noticed that my maximized windows had an uncolored titlebar.

Thank you too! I made something quite different than your mockup, but theses themes can be adapted quite easily.

I'm afraid that there is some issue/glitches.. I'm using gnome shell, look here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2155244/na.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2155244/na2.png

Oh wait, this is not your fault, it depends on gtk themes when the Gtk Theme has a darker/lighter toolbar then the bg color. Using the fixed color dark version solves this issue, but the blue/red combination on my system isn't good looking.

cedl38

Yes, there are some improuvement to do. The probleme is that I don't no if it possble to pick up the titlebar color from the gtk theme...

Hi, Since the version 1.3, you can change the titlebar color more easly by slightly change the dark fixed color version.
